Danika Miller shared a photo on Twitter and said “This is one of the very few pictures I have taken with both of my parents since my brother passed away 7 years ago. And look who decided to show up for the family photo. Can we all just believe that heaven is real and angels exist?” In the photo, you see Danika’s mom, Danika, her dad, and a light shining down as if to say, “See this perfect spot right here. That’s for me. That’s where I’m standing. I’m still with you. I’m still part of this family.” Within two weeks, Danika’s tweet was liked over 88,000 times and retweeted over 4,700 times.

Danika discusses the story of that photo as well as other incredible signs she’s received from her brother Derek. Also discussed: the unique grief of losing a sibling, how Danika was able to find strength during the first year after her brother’s passing, as well as the pros and cons of sharing on social media and deciding what to share.

You can find Danika Miller on Instagram @Danika__Miller (Note: that’s two underscores), where she is happy to hear from others who’ve had similar experiences.
